Q TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS- M September 6, 1926-glorious date! Do we Sophomores remember it? Don't M M be ABSURD!! 'Twas on that invigorating morning that we, as Freshmen, 33 M strong, and everyone filled to the brim with enthusiasm and ambition, en- M tered the Flying School, Melba Hi! Mr. Swayne was our flying instructor, M M patient and faithful, Elsie Sandford, our cadet captaing Wallace Eames, M assistant cadet captain: Helen Gray, cadet first sergeant, and Howard Palmer, M squadron supply sergeant-a. qualified set. M All went well except that we failed to settle down to earnest work, con- M sequently we were punished by the older cadets initiating us. After surviving M that we took note of our elders' solemn warning about stalls, slips, skids and M M climbing turns. We were admonished to keep our noses on the horizon, and M always retain flying speed. That entire year was spent in practicing take-offs M M and landings. M M On Monday, March 14, we suffered a great loss by the death of our class- K mate, Charles Hackler. Throughout the year nine cadet associates failed to M M clear the fence and got stuck in the mud, thus diminishing our squadron M from thirty-three to twenty-three. M When that year of struggle and strife was brought to a close, we were M rewarded by being permitted to spend an enjoyable day at Givens Hot Springs M M with our older cadets and other flying instructors. M M JOYS OF THE JOY STICK- ' M M Nineteen brilliant, studious boys and girls, now Sophomores, resumed work M M once more in the Melba Flying School on the seventh morning of September, M K 1927, with Mr. Swayne our reliable flying instructor. This time, Frank Hilton 3:5 and his assistant, Geraldine Graves, held the position of cadet captain: Esther M Eichenberger was cadet first sergeant, and Marion Coleman, our squadron M M supply sergeant--everyone constant, and willing. M M It was now our turn to frighten and boss the incoming Freshies. On Friday, M September thirtieth, we Sophomores gave a party for that express purpose M -initiating the Freshmen. M M During that year six cadet associates were cracked up in landings, causing M BSS a decline in our squadron to that fearful number THIRTEEN! However, in- M M stead of being ill-omened, our number proved to be lucky as that year was M indeed a success. We became such experts at flying that we must say our M older cadets regarded us somewhat enviously! We were well 1'epresented in K M wrestling, in the baseball team, in the Letter M club, the Home Economics M club, the High Y, the school orchestra, in various plays and entertainments M and lastly, the Annual staff. M After a few nose spins at the very last, we completed a non-stop flight M that landed us into the Junior year with FLYING colors!!
